Thank you, Chairman Wilson, and thank you to you and Ranking Member Phillips for calling this important hearing.
So, people are taking legally purchased pistols, adding these devices marketed as stabilizing braces but which are actually shoulder stocks and changing the character of the gun, transforming it into an unregistered short-barreled rifle.
To use the Chair's words, you know what Americans can't stand? You know what they hate about this town? They can't stand gun violence and they can't stand the fact that the Judiciary Committee has done nothing about it.
It would put migrants in an uncertain dangerous situation as Mr. Cicilline said and would transfer our responsibilities to countries that have minimal resources.
